Abstract

Objectives This study selects the school violence victim experience, the perpetrator experience, and the perception of the school climate as major factors, and examines the longitudinal path from the middle school student's school violence victim experience to the perpetrator experience. Most of the studies so far have focused on cross-sectional studies, an aspect of simple change in the relationship between the victim experience and the perpetrator experience and the focus on personal factors. However, not only personal factors but also environmental factors are considered to be important factors in the experience of school violence victimization and the perpetrator experience. Therefore, in this study, the purpose of study was to examine the effect of school factors, in which students spend a relatively large amount of time, on school violence. To this end, we intend to verify the mediating effect of the school violence victimization experience leading to the school violence perpetrator experience through the perception of school climate through longitudinal study data. Methods For this purpose, data from 2013(middle school 1) to 2015(middle school 3) among panel 1 data of the Seoul Education Longitudinal Study 2010 were used. The total number of subjects was 2,411, and the data were analyzed using the autoregressive cross-delay model. Results The victimization experiences and perpetrating experiences of school violence at the previous point affects the victimization experiences and perpetrating experiences of school violence at the next point in time, respectively, and that the previous perception of school climate also affects the perception of next time. In addition, the victimization experience of school violence at the previous point (middle 1) affects the perception of the school climate at the next point (middle 2), and the perception of the school climate at the previous point (middle 2) affects the perpetrating experience of school violence at the next point (middle 3). In other words, the study confirmed that the perception of the school climate had a longitudinal mediating effect in the relationship between the victimization experience and the perpetrating experience. Conclusions These imply that the victimization experience of school violence at the previous point can lead to the perpetrating experience of school violence next time. Also, if a student perceives the school climate negatively in this path, the perpetrating experience of school violence in the future may increase.
